Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have one or many variables in any combination, and the magnitude of them is ...

These higher-degree equations are much more difficult, of course; but part of the reason solutions didn't come easily was that algebra was tied to words and concrete images for such a very long time.

Find out how to solve simultaneous equations using a graph in this Bitesize KS3 maths video.

Mathematicians have devised a new way to solve higher-order polynomial equations, ushering in a 'dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra'.

Many dynamic processes can be described mathematically with the aid of stochastic partial differential equations. Scientists have found a new method which helps to solve a certain class of such ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. Here's the secret.
